Iran says it launched a series of retaliatory strikes on US military assets in Kuwait and Bahrain Saturday night and Sunday morning — after the US hit them earlier in the day as part of a rising series of strikes and counter-strikes between the two nations.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed they “destroyed eight important US military facilities at the Ali al-Salem base in Kuwait and at the Fifth Fleet naval base in Port Salman in Bahrain.”

An official reportedly said there were no ⁠US casualties or major impacts ⁠or damage ‌to US bases after the barrage of missiles and drones.

Bahrain’s Interior Ministry said the strikes damaged a residential building near the international airport and confirmed no one was killed.

The ministry released images showing an 8-story building with its top floor blown apart, windows shattered and rubble filling the interior.

Kuwait said it detected and intercepted two ballistic missiles Sunday morning, with no reports of injuries or damage.
